Brome you should try using some soft edges, all these textures have only hard angled edges.

[adam]

Good point. I've already made the 3 light emitters in the center circular, I'll see what else I can come up with.

Edges that are ever so slightly rounded instead of razor sharp will catch highlights much better and give a better sense of realism. -Nothing- has perfectly razor sharp edges in real life..... except for razors.

HAHA, it's funny because I put together all this information about edges for Brome over the weekend

See Brome, I told you that you don't listen, and now you're caught! /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Going even further, remember to not smooth all your edges the same amount either. Use different chamfer/extrude/inset values so that your edges have different strenghts, for more variety.
